It definitely isn't like most scary movies. It is filmed differently. It's a mockumentary. If you will...
I went in not knowing if it was going to be real or what. And that is the best way to approach this movie.
For me, it scared the piss out of me. Not because its super scary, but because it hit VERY close to home. My best friend, Crystal, who I saw it with, has experienced a lot of the same things that are presented in the movie. So it was just a little weird and made it more relateable in a negative way. That may sound crazy. I would give examples but it could potentially spoil the movie. If you want details, put a spoiler tag on the title of this thread so others who don't want it ruined can make that decision to read on or not.
